Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back... Last year was so nice, we are going to do it twice! That's right everyone, we have been invited back to the AAA Four-Diamond Award-Winning <a href="http://www.lansdowneresort.com/">Lansdowne Resort</a> for CFUnited 2010 and we have RSVP-ed with a resounding, YES! I mean really, how could we resist? We are looking forward to seeing the faces of the friendly and accommodating staff, checking in to the sumptuously appointed guest rooms and suites, learning and networking in the award-winning conference facility, and getting in some playtime on the championship golf course and sparkling aquatic complex. Only the best for us please! Stay tuned for the code to book your hotel room at a discounted rate, we will be sharing the room block information shortly. Please let us know right away if you are interested in room sharing this year so we can begin putting something in the works. We have locked down the resort for <b>July 28th - July 31st, 2010</b>. But wait, there's more! There were a lot of people who contacted us because they have wanted to register but needed to have exact dates/location in order to. For those people who missed out on the last early bird because they were waiting for this announcement, we are going to be offering the <a href="http://cfunited.com/2010/prices">11/30/09 early bird price</a> from now until Monday 12/21/2009 at midnight. To take advantage of this offer, use the code <b>EBEXT50</b>, when you <a href="http://register.cfunited.com/">register</a>. We are so thrilled to be back at Lansdowne! 2009 was truly special thanks to the location, but you don't have to take our word for it. Here are some comments we got after last year that really convinced us to come back for 2010... "And the location... one word, unparalleled. I mean, this place was a gem waiting to be discovered. I'm going to reserve the majority of this blog post just to talk about the conference center / hotel. Not that the sessions don't deserve more attention (they were beyond my expectations), but after all the previous CFUnited conferences I've been to (which were great), I never realized how much better an event can be just with subtle improvements at an event location." - <a href="http://www.jeffcoughlin.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/8/16/CFUnited-2009--What-an-Amazing-Event-This-Year">Jeff Coughlin</a> "I really can't say enough good things about the location. The Lansdowne Resort was a beautiful location, it had great rooms, amazing food - and snacks and drinks were available all day, every day! - incredibly helpful staff and a good bar." - <a href="http://corfield.org/">Sean Corfield </a> "Comfy room, lap pool, play pools, plenty of space to hang about, etc. There are advantages to being closer in to DC, but I'd come back here again, for sure. In particular, the outdoor patio was perfect for the evenings, and it was remarkably pleasant outside after the sun went down." - <a href="http://www.barneyb.com/">Barney Boisvert </a> featuredattendeesregistrationtravelhotelpromotionsconferencediscountsnewscommunityFri, 18 Dec 2009 13:57:00 -0400http://cfunited.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/12/18/We-are-back-at-Lansdowne-for-2010Early Bird ends 11/30/2009 - Get that worm people!http://cfunited.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/11/4/Early-Bird-ends-11302009--Get-that-worm-people You know you will be at CFUnited 2010 if... 1.
